Abstract

"In this work, we study some discrete time portfolio optimization problems. After a brief introduction of the corresponding continuous time models, we introduce the discrete time financial market model. The change in asset prices is modeled in contrast to the continuous time market by stochastic difference equations. We provide solutions for these stochastic difference equations. Then we introduce the discrete time risk-measure and the portfolio optimization problems. We provide closed form solutions to the discrete time problems. The main contribution of this thesis are the closed form solutions to the discrete time portfolio models. For simulation purposes the discrete time financial market is better. Examples illustrating our theoretical results are provided"--Abstract, page iii.
